East Yorkshire Wildlife Blog

Who is 'East Yorksire Wildlife'?

My name is Martin Standley and I have been interested in digital photography for since 2002. I started out with a Nikon Coolpix 3200 and my first wildlife photograph was of a wall brown butterfly. I later moved on to digi-scoping, I upgraded to a Nikon Coolpix 8400 and combined this with a Kowa telescope. Finally I took the plunge a few years ago and entered the world of DSLRs, I bought myself a Nikon D300s and an AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G. I have since used a D810 and D500 as well as 300mm f2.8 and 105mm macro lenses.

I have expanded my horizons to all aspects of wildlife. My main focus of attention is the wildlife of East Yorkshire in the UK and on the odd occasion I have been tempted further afield.

I have made a few trips further afield this week in search of rare butterflies.

The Duke of Burgundy and Pearl Bordered Fritillary are from North Yorkshire, Marsh fritillary and dingy skipper are from Lincolnshire, and the green hairstreak and tiger moth caterpillar are from Spurn.
